Free Irish probate calculators
Eight free calculators for Irish probate and inheritance. Every one uses current 2026 Irish tax rates and Succession Act 1965 rules. No sign-up, no email, no wait. Built by a working Irish property and tax professional.
Inheritance and tax
Irish inheritance tax (CAT) calculator
Work out how much CAT each beneficiary will owe using 2026 thresholds. Takes one minute. Accounts for prior gifts, reliefs, and Section 72 life insurance.
Dwelling House Exemption eligibility
Tests the five Section 86 conditions that determine whether the family home can pass tax-free. Often saves €30,000 to €130,000 on a Dublin home.
Section 72 life insurance check
Is the policy structured to pay CAT tax-free? Four questions to determine whether Section 72 relief applies.
Do I need to file an IT38?
Answers whether a beneficiary must file an inheritance tax return to Revenue, even when no CAT is due. Based on the 80% aggregation rule.
Probate process
Do I need probate?
Six questions to answer whether the estate needs a Grant of Probate, or whether the small-estates rule and joint-asset survivorship cover it.
Intestacy shares calculator
If there is no valid will, who inherits what? Based on the Succession Act 1965 rules for surviving spouses, children, parents, siblings.
Probate timeline estimator
Realistic timeline from today's date to receiving the Grant of Probate, based on your specific registry and estate complexity.
Probate cost estimator
Total costs for the full probate process. Compares the do-it-yourself route with the solicitor route for your specific estate.
How to use these
Each calculator works offline. Your inputs never leave your browser, never get saved, never feed an email list. Each runs in about 30 seconds and returns a clear answer with a breakdown of the math.
At the end of each calculator, if your result suggests you might benefit from one of the ProbatePack packs, you will see a recommendation for the specific tier that fits your situation. If your result is straightforward enough that you do not need a pack, the calculator will say so.
These calculators are preparation tools using Irish tax and probate rules for 2026. They are not legal or tax advice. For estates that are complex, contested, or above €1.5 million, consult a solicitor.
What to do next
A personalised diagnostic report telling you in plain English whether you need probate, whether you can do it yourself, what it will cost, how much inheritance tax the family will owe, and what to do in the next 14 days. If you later upgrade, we take €50 off the next pack.
